     1.4 +The libcap-ng library is intended to make programming with posix
     1.5 +capabilities much easier than the traditional libcap library.
     1.6 +It includes utilities that can analyse all currently running
     1.7 +applications and print out any capabilities and whether or not it
     1.8 +has an open ended bounding set. An open bounding set without the
     1.9 +securebits "NOROOT" flag will allow full capabilities escalation
    1.10 +for applications retaining uid 0 simply by calling execve.
    1.11 +
    1.12 +The included utilities are designed to let administrators and
    1.13 +developers spot applications from various ways that may be running
    1.14 +with too much privilege. For example, any investigation should
    1.15 +start with network facing applications since they would be prime
    1.16 +targets for intrusion.
    1.17 +The netcap program will check all running applications and display
    1.18 +the results.
